Evaluating Scholarly Communication Services And Programs To Plan For Sustained Success, Jacklyn Rander, Matt Ruen Aug 2016

Evaluating Scholarly Communication Services And Programs To Plan For Sustained Success, Jacklyn Rander, Matt Ruen

Jacklyn Rander

The scholarly communications program and institutional repository at Grand Valley State University began in 2008, and in its first seven years, grew rapidly. Our team, recently-expanded, now includes three full time positions, and through our repository we host open textbooks, open-access journals, and thousands of documents. Our initial growth was organic and opportunistic, which enabled this initiative to successfully take root in the University Libraries. The next challenge for our scholarly communications program is to make sure those early roots are strong and healthy, so that we can sustain our initial success through the next seven years and beyond.

Growing The Vision: Next Steps For Open Access Library Publishing, Shawn Martin Jul 2016

Growing The Vision: Next Steps For Open Access Library Publishing, Shawn Martin

Shawn Martin

How can (or should) institutional repositories, disciplinary websites, data warehouses, and other open access repositories form part of a larger strategy for library publishing?  In the age of linked data and the semantic web, open access repositories might seem to be the first step toward solving a much larger problem, namely, creating a research management infrastructure that helps to assess the impact, productivity, and use of resources online.   Yet, the answer to how library publishing units should accomplish linking research management practices and open access publishing mechanisms remains elusive.

There are two ways of trying to achieve the solution.  First, …

Combining Faculty, Instructional Design, And Library Services To Provide Students A Framework For Information Evaluation, Linda Leake, Samantha Mcclellan

Samantha McClellan

The creation of the course-embedded Critical Thinking & information Evaluation Module series resulted from the need for undergraduate students to start their academic careers with a framework for evaluating information. Pulling from the Paul-Elder Critical Thinking Framework and focusing abstract information literacy concepts on the commonly-used resources of Wikipedia, Google, and scholarly journal articles, the presenters will delve into module creation to implementation of these modules and discuss the logistics of this process to guide other faculty-librarian-instruction designer collaborations.

Meeting The Rising Tide Of Faculty Needs, Sarah Wipperman

Sarah Wipperman

Digital scholarship is changing dramatically for faculty, and libraries are understandably struggling to keep their heads above water as faculty’s needs evolve. Faculty have lots to organize and share, from datasets to images, audio, technical reports, course materials, syllabi, and more. How can the library move from being out at sea to riding this new wave of digital scholarship?
 
It’s not easy to strike that perfect balance between having a dry repository and getting swept out in the riptide; this breakfast will provide you with the tools to catch this wave.
 
First, Sarah Wipperman, Repository Services Manager at …

Grow Your Own Scholarly Communication Program, Barbara Tierney, Lee Dotson, Sarah Norris, Ven Basco, John Venecek Mar 2016

Grow Your Own Scholarly Communication Program, Barbara Tierney, Lee Dotson, Sarah Norris, Ven Basco, John Venecek

Barbara Tierney


How does an academic library go about growing its own Scholarly Communication (SC) program with no budget, no staff, no dedicated office space, no partners, and no experience? The University of Central Florida Libraries responded to such a challenge during 2012-15 by creating a grassroots SC program staffed by a volunteer 20-member library faculty/staff advisory group.  

The group began its work by creating an innovative “Research Lifecycle” model to help define an evolving menu of SC resources and services that could be turned on, as available, to UCF constituents. This grassroots program proved to be so successful that in 2015 …

Greater Than The Sum Of Our Parts: Building Support For Oer From Existing Services On Campus, Matt Ruen Dec 2015

Greater Than The Sum Of Our Parts: Building Support For Oer From Existing Services On Campus, Matt Ruen

Matt Ruen

At Grand Valley State University, the Libraries and several campus partners--including campus IT and offices that support faculty research and effective teaching--have come together to provide support for the creation and adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) on our campus.  But rather than developing brand new programs or asking for additional resources right at the start, we realized that each of our units already offers services that could support faculty creating and using OER.  Through our OER Initiative, we’ve begun coordinating our efforts to promote these services and build relationships with each other and with faculty allies interested in doing …
